Some materials are so strange they seem to break the rules of reality itself. From ultra-thin graphene stronger than steel to theoretical matter that could bend space and time, scientists are pushing ...

The standard model of particle physics is beginning to show cracks. A fundamental particle called the muon has been caught behaving strangely, and new experimental results from Fermilab in Illinois ...

Artist’s conception of the mystery of the magnetic moment of the muon—a sub-atomic particle similar to, but heavier than, an electron (represented by the Greek letter mu). More than half a century of ...
